Each time I receive an email showcasing how consumers can connect with local food processors, I am going to share it. This is just amazing and I wish they were here in the Charlotte, NC area. “The Walking Fish Cooperative, a community supported fishery (CSF) that links fishermen on the coast to consumers in the Triangle, is very pleased to announce the Winter 2012 season. Please help them spread the word!

I was in the mood for some good old fashioned vegetable soup and immediately realized there was no restaurant around that served it. You know the kind mom use to make. My mother is a master vegetable soup maker. She could whip up a batch of vegetable soup on a cold Saturday afternoon, with cornbread on the side and make a dreary gray day into something spectacular, like a trip to Venice.

Whether you call it “stuffin” or “dressin” is really a matter of where you live;  it’s a regional thing.

Those who live in the south are more apt to call it dressing, while everyone else calls it “stuffin” or if you must “stuffing” and for those outside the south who call it dressing.

I was just served some “Angry Bread.” No really, this was the saddest, sickest loaf of bread I’d ever seen. Am I the only person on the planet who has noticed the restaurants that serve bread are doing a rotten job? Seriously, I would rather have no bread with my meal than to have something that does not resemble nor tastes like bread.

My daughter recently purchased Cake Pops Tips, Tricks and Recipes for More Than 40 Irresistible Mini Treats by Bakerella as a gift for me. I was so happy to receive the book I could hardly contain myself.
